PLOW.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 403,329, dated May 14, 1889.

Application filed November 27, 1888. Serial No. 292,003. (No model.)

To all-whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN CLAYTON, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Fridlcy, in the county of Anoka and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Flows; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as Will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a representation of this invention, and is a side view of the landside, the share being shown in sec tion. Fig. 2 is atop View. Fig. 3 is a detail and a perspective view. Fig. etis also a detail and a perspective View.

This invention has relation to improvements in plows; and it consists in the novel construction and arrangement of the landside and dead-lay, the object being to make a strong, stiff, and rigid body, the landside and dead-lay being practically one piece, so that the share is prevented from sliding on its joint with the mold-board should the said share meet obstructions.

Referring to the drawings, A design ates the landside, which is formed with straight parallel edges from its rear end to the point a of the top edge, the bottom edge being continued straight to the upwardly-rounded end I). From the point a the upper edge of the landside has an upward incline to the apex c,

thence downward with a slight inward curve to the point. The portion or point I3 of the landside has its plane within that of the rear porthat the share-landside D, secured by boltd to Y the portion 13, will have its outer surface on a plane with the landside-plate E, which is secured by bolts to the rear portion of the landside A and is thinner than the sharelandside.

F shows the dead-lay, having a general rectangular form and secured at its acuteangle end 6 by welding to the upper curved edge, f, of the landside A. The plane of the dead-lay is at right angles to the plane of the landside, but extends outward and rearward from the landside, conforming to the pitch of the share G, which is secured thereon by bolts. The mold-board is also bolted to the dead-lay; but it is not deemed necessary to show the mold-board in the drawings.

Having described my invention, what I claim is The plow provided with the landside having its forward portion set inward out of alignment with its rear or offset portion, a vertical transverse shoulder being formed thereby, facing forward, and with a sharelandside resting upon the said shoulder and provided with a rearward plate-extension resting and secured upon the rearward offset portion of the laudside proper, said sharelandside having a rearwardly-facing shoulder at its point of oonj unction with the forwardly-facin g shoulder of the aforesaid landside, subst-antially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JOHN CLAYTON.
